@Purpsy: I'm living with my mom right now, she's formed a pretty nice support network around herself too. <3 I love it. She broke her ankle a few weeks ago, so I've been running her businesses and keeping my hours at work too. I'm exhausted.
Today, a cold finally set in. I'm pushing through it. I just wanna sleeeeep T^T

@Wildfire: I just messaged you my info. :3
lmao! ya know what's going to happen? He'll ride out the butt end of this winter and head in to spring and summer and he'll be happy as a clam and be like "winter wasn't that bad, mom!"
I see folks wearing cowboy boots out here in the winter all the time with thick socks. He'll be alright. :p
Well, your son has my family now too. I think we're pretty good people.

@CooperationIsKey: I am okay. Pretty pooped out actually. I have a full work day tomorrow with my job and some hours on Sunday I need to do.. oof. not looking forward to no days off.
@Purpsy: 2023 for me has been a challenge, but I'm doing okay.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall asleep standing up today though. XD

inflation definitely sucks. e.e Luckily my mom is covering some groceries and I'm taking advantage of the local food bank.
@Purpsy: omg! 8 months already. jeeeeez. D:
I miss your silly posts and your presence here. <3

Is life treating you okay? o3o
@Purpsy: OH HEI! I was just thinkin about you yesterday. I haven't seen you in forever, or it feels that way. =O
How are you doing?
@CooperationIsKey: Good Morning.
Sucks that a quick trip to the doc has to take so long! D:

That looks amazing! <3
I don't bake much.. maybe a couple times a year. XD I make cookies for holidays. :d
@Wildfire: your avatar is really showing you today. lol. Cold weather and anxious eyebrows. XD
Sounds like your son found a good job with good people. He'll fit right in. <3 I'm excited to hear your updates, or if he's friendly enough to throw me a text sometimes and tell me how things are going as time goes on.

I love that you ramble about your sons. <3 You are proud of them.
@Wildfire: I'm glad he's flying in. You mentioned it's an hour out of town and that's wild to me! Wonder if he'll get bored out there?
Or maybe the vast space and feeling of freedom will be his new addiction! XD
<.< I am guilty of really enjoying that wide open space and that blissful freedom from society.
I gotta feeling the ranchers will keep him inline [wyo men are hardasses]. Hopefully he'll respect their property truck and there won't be any.... accidents. D:
Is someone from the ranch[farm?] picking him up from the airport?

One kid called out sick, my easy one. She's always sick, however we got nailed with all sorts of viruses the last 2 weeks. God only knows what she's got now. /sigh/
Down to 6 and 1 is only here for nap time. Hopefully won't be too difficult.

lol I love the thought of a cerberus chicken.
Triple yolk is rare, that's awesome.
o0oooh I wanna see how the Alice recolor looks so bad.

wish I could help, but alas, I am.. like a grandma with computers. XD

Thank you for the update!
@Wildfire: See if you can't talk him into staying on main roads up to Wyo. o3o
I've done backroads out of wyoming to south dakota before in dead of winter and it was.. very unwise. cx
I surprised my family and showed up to a birthday and they grilled me so bad for having drove what I did. lol, but nothing happened and it was overall a stressful trip in freezing... below freezing weather and no cell service for hundreds of miles. Once they were done being mad about my youthful nature, we had a great time. XD
I'll send you my private info via fb. He can text me anytime.
I definitely sparked the interest in Wyoming and I'm excited to see how he fairs out here.

Today- I have a full 7 kid daycare and a parent teacher conference for one kid.
My mom was told she can put some weight back on her foot in 3 weeks. I imagine I'll still be running things after that while she figures out her limits.

Hi, Welcome back. <3
I think we've all been through the 'afk, rl is busy' type hiatuses.

Congrats on such a great job. I love people who work for the public, especially for mental health. I can imagine there are hard days and rewarding days. o3o
My plans today just include the daycare running, and hopefully pay a fat bill in the afternoon.
husband is finally going to go get a note today from a doc saying his back is good enough. He seriously needs to go back to work. OTL He's just sitting and playing video games from open eyes to shut eyes. e_e' he's driving me insane. He is doing little piddly things I ask him to do- but otherwise he just sits. =3= His laziness bothers me, and then I have my mom trying her best to not breathe down my neck about him. She just keeps making the comment "He really needs to get back to work."
HAh, I am taking advantage of him being in this state of laziness, I'm making him listen to the most obnoxious and popular romance/fantast books. The Court of Thorns and Roses books. CX we're 1/3rd of the way through the first book and he looks at me and shakes his head. I've read these books a couple of times already. lol. ... it's like... Beauty and The Beast meets Twilight.. and fifty shades of grey. >.>" '

I'm staying on my workout routine even though life has been hectic here. yay for me keeping that up. /thumbs up
@Wildfire: I'm surprised he jumped the gun so quick. o3o I thought maybe he'd look at doing spring or summer job out here.
I did wanna ask you if you'd be alright sending my personal to him, just as an emergency contact. We're far, but- close enough that if he needs help, we could do our best to drive over or something. <3

I think my first trek out to wyo as an adult, I left my car at my parents and got it later.. turned out my little Malibu handled the winter and passes far better than anyone predicted. XDD

OTL I'm the one to blame for the wyoming stress and I feel kind of bad about it. CX I'm sorrrrryyyy.
